Anybody who knew John knew he was an avid sports fan whose interests spanned across college football and basketball, horse racing and Jai Alai just to mention a few. During his visits to Connecticut he took advantage of seeing his grandchildren play their school sports and cheering them on. He loved socializing with his family and friends. There will be a small service for immediate family members only. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.
